Each kite has a very small pinhole repair in the same place, next to the inflate valve where it has rubbed a little on the canopy. This is very minor and has been patched to prevent and further problems. All the canopies are in excellent condition with very few signs of use. Some of the kites have only been used a handful of time.
Purchase 3 kites for not much more than a new set of bar and lines!
This is a great quiver to cover you for almost all wind speeds in the UK. Aimed at intermediate riders but they are actually very user friendly.
The kites were a set up we took as a part exchange from someone who used them to learn on but didn’t get on the water much. The kites are sold as higher performance but are actually user friendly and easy to use for the less experienced.
The bar & lines have a modern single line safety system and easy to use quick release system. The lines are very strong with a 500kg breaking strain.
About the Switch Element 6 – 2018
We focused on what you wanted.
JUMP, DRIFT, PROGRESSION, STRONG, LIGHT
With all our customers and team feedback, it was clear to see what you wanted from an ‘All-Terrain’ kite. Jump, Drift, Progression, Strong, Light. With a fresh new design brief, we totally redesigned the Element 6 from the ground up with the sole focus of delivering exactly what you wanted
JUMP,
The Element 6 is the easiest kite to jump we have ever made. All you need to do is send the kite and pull in on the bar. From someone starting to jump for the first time through to riders trying to mega loop, the Element 6 will be the easiest kite to take you to the next level.
The Element 6 has phenomenal lift, drift, turning speed and most importantly, control – so at every stage of your jump you can easily and confidently adjust your height and come in for a soft landing. If you are into jumping, you have to experience the new Element 6.
The Element 6 is the easiest kite we have ever made to water relaunch. The swept wingtips lets the kite freely roll over when re-launching and while also increasing kite turning speed.
Having a kite that is quick and easy to water re-launch means less swimming and more riding.
The heart of a kite is its shape and profile. The Element 6 delta hybrid design has been carefully optimised to give arguably, the very best lift/stability ratio. We individually optimised the width and length of each panel to maximise the ratio between lift production and weight. This means maximum ratio in the centre of the kite where we need maximum lift, medium ratio on the wingtip where we need rigidity and reinforcement.
This allows us to add a small struts on the wingtip to give maximum drive.
The Element 6 shape has been carefully refined, optimising the % projected area. This means the Element 6 will have more power than most kites of the same size. More power, smaller sizes equals more fun.
To make the Element 6 a true All-Terrain kite we had to fundamentally change the geometry of the kite. The best results were achieved with a pulley bridle. The simple pulley bridle system gives you a smooth gradient bar pressure optimising control and steering even when bar is push away.
To ensure strength and longevity we used the strongest and very best pulleys and lines available.
The Element 6 comes with our all new Lite kite bag.
All you need and nothing you don’t.
– Travel super lightweight.
– Compression straps, shrink your kite down or strap on your bar or pump.
– Adjustable shoulder strap.
– Extra large opening with drawstrings, easy kite in and out.
– Spare pump nozzle.
– 4 sizes XS, S, M, L.
Objective – Maximise strength through design, not by simply adding more material. It’s easy to add material to make kites stronger but this inevitably increases weight and reduces performance, especially in light winds. Through clever placement of reinforcing and materials we have managed to make the Element 6 the strongest kite we have ever made while reducing the weight to make the new 5 strut design as light as the old 3 strut model.
UNI-PUMP RAPID INFLATE/DEFLATE SYSTEM
Pump up faster with our efficient high air flow valve and uni-pump system. Less pumping more jumping.
Every size in the Element 6 range has been individually refined to maximise all performance criteria. With the addition of 3 new small sizes the Element 6 is our biggest model size range ever, giving you the freedom to perfectly tune your quiver.
Five STRUT – 6m, 7m, 8m, 9m, 10m, 12m, 14m
Jump / Wave / Foil / Progression
Optimized five strut design – The strongest and most stable platform possible.Size optimized Aspect Ratio through the range.Each size is refined and tuned to ensure each kite performs perfectly within its wind range.Sizes 9m and below have a slightly lower AR to increase performance in waveriding, freeriding and smoother jumping.Sizes 10m and above have a slightly higher AR to increase performance in lighter winds, better upwind and extra boost while jumping.Our new light strut design yields the highest strength to weight ratio achieved in any Switch strut.

BUILT SWITCH TOUGH
KITE CONSTRUCTION
Legendary Switch build quality and workmanship
Airush Livewire V4
The Airush Livewire is a high quality kiteboard offering all round performance in all conditions.
- All round freeride performance
- Sintered grind base
- Carbon torsion control with 3D tip reinforcement
- Huge grip & Edge hold
- Excellent upwind
- Comfortable through chop
- Stable landings
Complete with Airush AFT straps & pads, ergonomic handle and premium G10 fins
The Airush Livewire V4 2016 utilises the same shape as the groundbreaking Livewire Team. This Livewire Series introduces a heavy-duty snowboard style sintered base and bombproof layup. Creating an ideal board for general abuse.
The Livewire features a unique dual rocker with a flatter tail rocker, for maximum pop and upwind performance. While the center rocker is increased for comfort and softer more stable landings.
The deep channel tips make this kiteboard ideal for riders who prefer to ride more powered or like good edge hold. The increased grip is fantastic for edging upwind, holding a solid edge even in choppier conditions and through carves.
Airush LiveWire Kiteboard Key Features
Multizone Biotech Core
The Airush Multizone Biotech construction is a vertical Paulownia wood core sandwich. This multilayer construction creates a consistent density from the natural material. Renowned for their response, the wood cores offer durability and smoothness. They are combined with a versatile combination of laminates depending on each model’s requirement. Perfect for all-round performance and durability.
Carbon Torsion Control
Airush Carbon Torsion Control creates a unique performance advantage developed specifically for performance freeride boards. Traditionally higher flex boards, which are ideal for freeride, have significant torsional flex. Carbon Torsion Control features bias oriented carbon fiber along the heel edge. Specifically reducing the amount of torsional flex in this area allowing you to ride the board flatter for increased comfort and speed.
HD Grindrite
On the Airush Livewire V4 is our ultra durable multipurpose HD Grindrite sintered base. This dual composite bottom sheet is self-lubricating, self-healing and highly abrasion resistant. This Grindrite base makes the Livewire the perfect crossover board. Increased performance in competition wakestyle as well as for sliders and kickers.
FMS Rating
Airush introduced FMS rating 6 years ago as the first brand to quantify how much a twintip flexes. Instead of the good old “feel” test, FMS takes into account the board’s length and deflection. This can be very deceptive due to the impact of the length on the overall stiffness. A lower rating indicates a softer board more suited to freeride. Contrarily higher rated stiffer boards are more suited to freestyle.
ABS Reinforced Inserts
No more pulled or broken inserts from hard landings or crashes. Featured on all Airush boards, the ABS Reinforced Inserts create the ultimate amount of durability whether riding with Boots or Straps.
